Things to do for PSP – sing a PSP country song (badly!)

A bit of fun for a good cause. You have to watch the video - sorry!

We have Tim Brown (Daddyt on this site) to thank – he has done so much with his PSP Chronicles books and his Ice Cream Challenge and he recorded his original version some time ago. I then foolishly said I would give it a go….

The main thing is that Ruth and I had fun doing it. The two daughters are doing a half marathon in May to raise money for PSPA and I thought this might help. But notice how they are too embarrassed to appear on video with their father!

Hope it brings a smile to your face – something we all need on this long hard journey….

There is absolutely no need to donate – we all have more than enough on our hands. But if you do if only to prevent a repeat performance the link is justgiving.com/page/couch-21k

Love to you all,

Richard🙂

Thank you Richard. It brought a smile to my face. So glad that you and Ruth enjoyed doing it. I think Tim is an inspiration to everyone so I agree with you. All the best AliBee x

We did enjoy it and it was good to hear from Tim below (posting as pspchronicles). I did it for him really!

Bergenser,

It was fun doing it and you will be glad to know I do not normally perform in public!

My husband enjoyed it too - tried to sing along even if he didn't know the words or the melody - I think he was especially impressed with the girls' singing - do thank them from him. 😃

I will thank them. But really I think they could have made more of an effort in joining in! 🤣🤣 All credit to Roxy - she did a great job editing it. These young people so clever!

You killed it, Richard. Absolutely LOVE IT! Ruth was wonderful and your girls as background vocals. I could respond to your message... somehow I lost my account? To you as well Sarah.

I am sorry it took so long. But it is managing to raise a smile (and a bit of money). Everybody praises the lyrics - obviously like the original song a bit sad despite the rousing tune (or slighty out of tune.....). Thank you so much for sending them to me.

It was well worth the wait. LOVED IT! I think there's about four parodies you'll have to get work on it's getting some traction on FB😉

People will pay money not to have to have another performance🤣🤣!!! I am so glad you liked it and it is good to raise a smile.

And raise a smile, it did. I wore one from ear to ear. Maybe people will pay to have another performance,

Wonderful ! Thank you for doing this. Ruth certainly enjoyed it.I had a big smile and then I was in tears watching Ruth's expression which reminded me of my husband's own. Wasn't expecting that.

Anyway good luck to your daughters for the marathon. God bless you all. 🙏

Leosta,

It is such horrible disease and you know first hand that we are fighting a losing battle sadly. It was good to make Ruth laugh and even better if it can raise a smile with others at my pretty tuneless performance!
